Bullying Solution In Grand Junction and Mesa County
Would you vote for or against this type of proposal here in Mesa County?
A small town in Wisconsin is taking a new approach to bullying. Should Mesa County and District 51 get behind an idea like this?
Shawano Wisconsin, a small city about 30 minutes west of Green Bay, is taking a new approach to bring bullying to a halt. They are penalizing the parents. The City Council passed the measure two weeks ago. It is part of a new anti-bullying campaign with parents possibly having to pay fines for their children's behavior.
The complete story can be found here at WLUK-TV in Green Bay. But basically, here is the low down.
- First, the parents will be warned by police if their child is involved in bullying
- Parents then have 90 days to correct child's behavior
- If it is found that the child is still bullying after 90 days a fine $366 is issued
- Two offenses will equal $681
If this were on a ballot for the District 51 schools of Mesa County, how would you vote? Do we need to involve more police action into our children's lives?
